If you’ve been itching for some fresh excitement in Pokemon TCG Pocket, you’re in luck! There’s a brand-new expansion set to launch next week, and it includes a booster pack where you might just score a Mew.
The game’s official Twitter account dropped the news, announcing the upcoming Mythical Island expansion, slated for release on Tuesday, December 17. “I went the extra mile to get this info for you. (Basically, I asked very politely and maybe shed a tear or two),” quipped the social media representative for TCG Pocket.
For a sneak peek, check out the trailer below. It showcases a slew of new cards, with Mew, Aerodactyl, and Celebi among the sought-after ex cards. This new Mythical Island booster pack offers a refreshing option for those who’ve been inundated with Doduo cards—no one can really decide whether it’s Doduos or Dodui.
According to the trailer, “The Mythical Island expansion features over 80 cards, including five new exciting Pokémon ex cards, five new Trainer cards, and beautifully immersive cards that transport you into the enchanting world of Pokémon.”
Additionally, you can nab new binder and display board covers featuring the scenic Mythical Island, providing a whimsical backdrop for your Pokémon. It’s like sending your little Pokémon crew on a faux vacation—perfect for the quirky world of Pokemon’s somewhat ethically questionable zookeeping concept if you think too hard about it.
Do Pokémon enjoy their seemingly endless lives as battlers in card arenas? Who knows? But one thing’s clear—The Pokemon Company has hit over 60 million downloads with TCG Pocket. That’s a huge fan base they wouldn’t want to upset, and I’m in that number too. I’d rather not annoy myself by complaining!
